I'm pretty new to this business of being quoted. It
happened to me just recently, which is what I get
for shooting my mouth off all the time instead of
getting a job, and maybe a life:

(Update on that: Sam has www.neurogrid.com going, now.)
Reading through what Anne wrote, I felt very on
edge, mentally checklisting: "yeah...OK....yeah,
yeah, I said something like that....close enough"
while marvelling that she could get all those napkin-
scrawled details down so well, so late at night, in
the kind of irritating smoky bar that I believe is now
illegal in her home state.
And actually, I *still* feel very on edge - was what
I was saying correct? It was mostly second-and third-
hand.
Anyway, this is just to say that I'm really glad we have
a forum like keitai-l, where people at least have a chance
to get the story straight - or at least as straight as it's
ever going to be. And that getting quoted is no picnic,
even when it happens to have been done reasonably
well.
